Tile based or art based?So far i have a jpg that extends far beyond the stage and if i wanted to make a real level then instead of having it 480x2000 i would need to make it more like 480x5000 at the least.Im interested in tile based but all the guides i've found are rather dated.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to create a multiplayer game for both mobile devices (iPhone, Android, etc) and desktops. I have been looking at creating the game in Flash for desktops and writing the game in native language on the mobile device. Does anyone know of a good multiplayer socket server that work for connecting both the mobile and the desktop applications together.I have looked into SmartFoxServer (had a lot of trouble getting that working for some reason) and red5.
View 1 RepliesI have this application that is basically the ubiqutous page turning component you can find online, but modified for mobile. It's for kid's storybooks. It's a mobile flex application in FlashBuilder 4.6. When I export release build for my mobile project, I see an option for desktop .air packaging rather than mobile. Works and looks great....but you can't sell a .air file on Mac App Store. I want to bundle the air runtime to create a .app, which hopefully I can get on the app store. However, this option is not available in a mobile project. I've tried figuring it out via commandline...

I want to make some really simple board games that be played in your browser. AFAIK, there are really only two technologies capable of doing this: HTML5 Canvas, and Flash. I think Flash is on it's way out, so I think I should start learning how to work with the canvas.
My questions: Are there any other competing technologies/technologies I should consider? If canvas is the way to go, where can I get started? I already know HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery. I'm mostly interested in learning how to draw basic shapes and detect click events on these shapes.
I'm not overly concerned about supporting old browsers. Obviously I'd like to reach as large an audience as possible, but... I think it's about time people start upgrading their browsers if they want to keep up with the rest of the world, and this isn't going to be the sort of site you [should] visit at work, so corporate policies don't apply.

I'm writing a simple game based on my physics engine for Android (in Java). Because I want to play with some special graphic effects performance is very important for me. I read on the Internet that you can write an application in ActionScript3 and then just export it as an iPhone/iPad or Android application. That means, I wouldn't have to rewrite everything from Java to Objective-C if I wanted to make version also for iPhone. Do you have any experience with writing games in ActionScript3 for both Android and iPhone/iPad? Are there any significant advantages / disadvantages?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code]........
It always traces 0,0 instead of my current line coordinates - and even those I don't think would be sufficient.
i'm fiddling about with tile based games at the moment and am working from the super good tonypa tutorials. i'd like to change the source code a bit so that i can play about with placing items onto the tile grid dynamically but need some help! tile_dev2.fla.i've linked to the source file and would basically like some help to change a value in the map array so that it change the graphic displayed on the screen using a button or keypress maybe? i have a detectKey function working on the stage that is used to control the movement of the little birdy character i made. also maybe a function the change the character displayed on the screen.
View 1 RepliesI have a UI component that I wish to relocate and scale, but in a rather complex way. I've figured out the necessary transformations using the transform matrix, to which I applied several translate and scale operations. I can set the new transform matrix for this UI component to be the above calculated matrix, and the results are accurate; but I need to animate the transition. I can't use the Scale/Move effects alone because they aren't as powerful when it comes to calculating the necessary transformation as the matrices are.So how can I animate the transition of an object given a source and a target transform matrix?Figured it outUsing a tweener and its onUpdate event to reassign the matrix with each intermediate value:
var animMatrix : Matrix = gi.transform.matrix;
TweenMax.to(animMatrix, 1, {
a : m.a,

I have a grid based game with eight bots each moving under their own instruction set, I have set them to return their ID and location when clicked, the game as it stands now is over 2k lines so I wont post it all here. On occasion two of the bots are merging into the same MC, clicking on either one or between the two merged ones will return the same ID (bot 0 returns that it is bot 1 in bot 1s location for example). To make it more confusing they are continuing to run their own separate code, bot 0 is not moving the same way as bot 1 is. Doing a var dump does not show anything as wrong, they all show up with the right IDs and locations.

I have managed to load in the picture but the transform class doesn't seem want to grab it. Eventually I want to us the FileRef to upload the image but I just need to figure out how it works first. Here my code to load in the external image

The transform class can grab the other movieclips but it doesn't want to grab the new image loaded in from the code above.
I have a grails application using jquery mobile. I am hoping to find some way to access the camera on the devices. I thought about using flash to grab the webcam but that obviously wont work on Apple devices. Does anyone know of a way to do it and keep it all browser based? I am hoping that there is a plugin somewhere or maybe html5 has some magic in there that supports it.

View 2 RepliesI just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
Does flex mobile supports In-App purchases, push notification etc that can run on all supported mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Blackberry playbook).

Background: I've been coding in VIM/C++/OpenGL for a long time.I've come to realize that this (VIM/C++/OpenGL) isn't the way to learn about programming fancy/cool-looking/futuristic UIs; and that the design of such UIs belongs more so in the artistic/designer world of Flash.
Anyway, I currently have a machine with MacOSX. What software should I install? What book should I read to learn about the artistic/design side of these futuristic UIs? [It's okay if the tools to design them are mouse clicking + graphical rather than coding based].
Question: what software packages + books to read to learn about creating fancy-looking / futuristic UIs in flash?
On my venture for quick rendering within Flash, I've worked out that the only solution is to create sprite sheets on the fly. Sprite sheets are created from a MovieClip using BitmapData.draw().
I have a graphics manager class which has a method that accepts a MovieClip and an int. The MovieClip is the target to capture graphics from, and the int represents how many different angles the image can be rendered at within 360 degrees.
[Code]...
Any advice around this would be extremely helpful. Note: I have made sure to utilize BitmapData.dispose() within my own dispose() method defined by SpriteSheet to clear up RAM, I am more concerned about how much RAM I can use at one given time (all game assets that will render ready to be used).
i have a web application that runs inside a iframe. The iframe is scaled with -webkit-transform:scale(0.8), thats works pretty good but my flash audio recorder inside that iframe doesn´t work when the iframe gots scaled. The flash selfs got loaded and works but the SecurityPanel on which the user has to allow the access to the microphone, is not clickable.
Maybee someone has the same problem or any idea what i can do to fix that?
I want to have site visitors be able to put a link to a website on their desktop. Asking them to click on a link, bookmark it, and then save the link to their desktop is too involved. A one click solution is what I'm hoping for, but something like dragging an icon off the .swf to the desktop would be okay.

I added a movie clip to my library and enabled export for actionscript. I got a dialog box that says "a definition for this class could not be found in the classpath, so one will automatically be generated in the swf file upon export." I click ok. Then when I try to test it, I get an error that says "call to possibly undefined method". What exactly am I doing wrong?

Other flash applications at other websites I can't open or see without problems - I really don't know what the problem is.
What are the best (considered by professionals) approaches while creating a platformer based game for Creating game levels & background (static ones).Create a single background and scale it?or Display it on-the-fly by loading objects (probably repeating them often).
If the first one is the choice then it would become essential to create each level manually of the game & putting level editors difficult.
Also if the later is the choice I find it too processor intensive....my frame rate almost breaks into half, while trying to manage so many objects together on screen.
Is there any way to play flash games in a java application? I saw jflashplayer, but it is commercial.
